Maybe I'm looking alittle too deep into it and it's abit niche but all the Mandela catalog/find the "anomaly" tests have this.. weird underlying ableism to them? Like I'm rewatching people play those games and some of the "anomalies" just look like disabled people with normal severe facial scarring or missing eyes. Like obviously the whole swirling face or black out faces with just the eyes are not ableist stuff and the uncanny valley effect is affective for horror. I'm even saying as someone who loves analog horror. But I'd be a liar to say that some of this and some of these feel just off and feel a little demonizing of disfigured disabled people and in our current incredibly ableist world, we should not be encouraging young cishet white abled boys (the audience and main producer of most horror content) to look at a disfigured person in public, laugh and point or scream at disfigured people and call them "anomalies".
I'm not saying the whole genre is ableist nor is the concept of anomalies but what I am saying is that if your " anomalies" just look like disfigured people, arnt clearly photoshopped or, gods forgive, you use actual pictures of disfigured people as examples of your "anomalies", then there is ableism present. I'm treading lightly on this community from now on because it just looks like another example of " person who is disfigured/visibly disabled/has a small cosmetic difference from what 'normal people' look like is obviously not human and is in fact a monster in human skin that you should avoid and demean and kill off so they don't infect other humans". Like this is how this looks from a visibly disabled perspective.
